So cool.. I've been wanting to build a CBG fiddle and was wondering what box to use. And I also have that same box and was wondering what to do with it.. so you've killed two birds for me. That thing sounds great. I like how you've combined the sound holes with the side indents or cut outs wherever they are called.
Thanks man! Glad you like it. Yeah, they aren’t too tough to make. Send me a pic or video of your build. I’m also here if you have any questions. Cheers 🍻
My great grandfather wanted to play the violin so bad. The Virginia historical society has records of our immigrant grandfather recorded as being a violin player. Great grandfather’s dad said playing violin was sissy. Great grandfather built a violin from a cigar box and later he was able to get a fiddle and was a fantastic fiddle player. I love mandolin and just got an Eastman after dying to play mandolin my whole life. I love bowed lyres and built a dulcimer in high school. Love your videos!!! That violin you built is amazing!
That’s great! I’m glad to be an inspiration! The instrument on the wall is a large droning base. It just plays open notes of DAD. It was handmade by a friend of mine in Colorado.
Hey man. Glad you like the fiddle. I buy the diy kits from Amazon. I use everything but the body for these builds, then I use the body to make other 3 and 4 string instruments. It’s a lot of fun.
the fact that it's got that simple lion on top is even better. great job. I love how it looks!
Thank you so much!

Hi Aaron,
I’d love to build you one. Send me an email to luckypickguitars@gmail.com

Love it. I have built 140 + cigar box guitars and have some cedar planking which would make a great fiddle. did you make the neck or did you buy it.

what is the gigantic instrument in the back?
It’s an instrument of my own design. Kinda like a Bass Mt. Dulcimer.
